Far-right cable news network, One America News, published a full retraction on Monday of a March 27th article regarding former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

The retraction came following Cohen retaining the same legal counsel used by Dominion Voting Systems who sued Fox News and secured a settlement of $787.5 million in damages.

    You see? They are trainable. You just need to use a big enough rolled up newspaper being wielded by a lawyer.

      No they didn’t learn shit. This retraction comes more than a month after the story was run and will only ever appear as a minor foot note that nobody reads. They already achieved their goal of the initial headline outrage to fan up more fascist flames. 100% got away with it and they will continue to get away with it until they are seized and shut down.

      We need some law where if the media fucks up, the correction needs to either be on the first page or opening segment for a week.

    But all the Q and MAGAtards will believe it anyway for about 9 months, as it allows them to be angry at current thing.
